How to watch Manchester City vs. Real Madrid Champions League live in the US
The UEFA Champions League is finally back, with Manchester City and Real Madrid ready to get the ball rolling. This is how to watch.
The 2019/20 UEFA Champions League has been on a forced hiatus since mid-March due to the coronavirus pandemic. Only half of the round of 16 match-ups were completed, with Atletico Madrid, PSG, Atalanta and RB Leipzig securing quarter-final berths.
The Champions League will be a sprint finish from here. City and Real are among the teams still trying to reach the last eight. Once the round of 16 second legs are completed, the quarters and semi-finals will be single-game eliminations before the August 23 finale in Portugal. Manchester City holds a 2-1 lead after winning the opening game in Madrid on February 27.
When is Manchester City vs. Real Madrid Champions League?
This match kicks off at 3pm EDT on Friday, August 7 at Etihad Stadium in Manchester.

Who will win Man City vs. Real Champions League second leg?
Read Madrid is by far the most storied team in the history of the Champions League. Its 13 titles are almost double the next best, with AC Milan (7) and reigning champions Liverpool (6) second and third on the list respectively. But we think this is a step too far for Real to overcome in Manchester.
City is carrying the burden of having never won this competition, but we think the Citizens will have enough firepower to make it through to the last eight at least.
